(Mustang Algo) Stochastic RSI + Triple EMAStochastic RSI + Triple EMA (StochTEMA)
Overview
The Stochastic RSI + Triple EMA indicator combines the Stochastic RSI oscillator with a Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) overlay to generate clear buy and sell signals on the price chart. By measuring RSI overbought/oversold conditions and confirming trend direction with TEMA, this tool helps traders identify high-probability entries and exits while filtering out noise in choppy markets.
Key Features
Stochastic RSI Calculation
Computes a standard RSI over a user-defined period (default 50).
Applies a Stochastic oscillator to the RSI values over a second user-defined period (default 50).
Smooths the %K line by taking an SMA over a third input (default 3), and %D is an SMA of %K over another input (default 3).
Defines oversold when both %K and %D are below 20, and overbought when both are above 80.
Triple EMA (TEMA)
Calculates three successive EMAs on the closing price with the same length (default 9).
Combines them using TEMA = 3×(EMA1 – EMA2) + EMA3, producing a fast-reacting trend line.
Bullish trend is identified when price > TEMA and TEMA is rising; bearish trend when price < TEMA and TEMA is falling; neutral/flat when TEMA change is minimal.
Signal Logic
Strong Buy: Previous bar’s Stoch RSI was oversold (both %K and %D < 20), %K crosses above %D, and TEMA is in a bullish trend.
Medium Buy: %K crosses above %D (without requiring oversold), TEMA is bullish, and previous %K < 50.
Weak Buy: Previous bar’s %K and %D were oversold, %K crosses above %D, TEMA is flat or bullish (not bearish).
Strong Sell: Previous bar’s Stoch RSI was overbought (both %K and %D > 80), %K crosses below %D, and TEMA is bearish.
Medium Sell: %K crosses below %D (without requiring overbought), TEMA is bearish, and previous %K > 50.
Weak Sell: Previous bar’s %K and %D were overbought, %K crosses below %D, TEMA is flat or bearish (not bullish).
Visual Elements on Chart
TEMA Line: Plotted in cyan (#00BCD4) with a medium-thick line for clear trend visualization.
Buy/Sell Markers:
BUY STRONG: Lime label below the candle
BUY MEDIUM: Green triangle below the candle
BUY WEAK: Semi-transparent green circle below the candle
SELL STRONG: Red label above the candle
SELL MEDIUM: Orange triangle above the candle
SELL WEAK: Semi-transparent orange circle above the candle
Candle & Background Coloring: When a strong buy or sell signal occurs, the candle body is tinted (semi-transparent lime/red) and the chart background briefly flashes light green (buy) or light red (sell).
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
On a strong buy signal, a green dot is plotted under that bar’s low as a temporary support marker.
On a strong sell signal, a red dot is plotted above that bar’s high as a temporary resistance marker.
Alerts
Strong Buy Alert: Triggered when Stoch RSI is oversold, %K crosses above %D, and TEMA is bullish.
Strong Sell Alert: Triggered when Stoch RSI is overbought, %K crosses below %D, and TEMA is bearish.
General Buy Alert: Triggered on any bullish crossover (%K > %D) when TEMA is not bearish.
General Sell Alert: Triggered on any bearish crossover (%K < %D) when TEMA is not bullish.
Inputs
Stochastic RSI Settings (group “Stochastic RSI”):
K (smoothK): Period length for smoothing the %K line (default 3, minimum 1)
D (smoothD): Period length for smoothing the %D line (default 3, minimum 1)
RSI Length (lengthRSI): Number of bars used for the RSI calculation (default 50, minimum 1)
Stochastic Length (lengthStoch): Number of bars for the Stochastic oscillator applied to RSI (default 50, minimum 1)
RSI Source (src): Price source for the RSI (default = close)
TEMA Settings (group “Triple EMA”):
TEMA Length (lengthTEMA): Number of bars used for each of the three EMAs (default 9, minimum 1)
How to Use
Add the Script
Copy and paste the indicator code into TradingView’s Pine Editor (version 6).
Save the script and add it to your chart as “Stochastic RSI + Triple EMA (StochTEMA).”
Adjust Inputs
Choose shorter lengths for lower timeframes (e.g., intraday scalping) and longer lengths for higher timeframes (e.g., swing trading).
Fine-tune the Stochastic RSI parameters (K, D, RSI Length, Stochastic Length) to suit the volatility of the instrument.
Modify TEMA Length if you prefer a faster or slower moving average response.
Interpret Signals
Primary Entries/Exits: Focus on “BUY STRONG” and “SELL STRONG” signals, as they require both oversold/overbought conditions and a confirming TEMA trend.
Confirmation Signals: Use “BUY MEDIUM”/“BUY WEAK” to confirm or add to an existing position when the market is trending. Similarly, “SELL MEDIUM”/“SELL WEAK” can be used to scale out or confirm bearish momentum.
Support/Resistance Dots: These help identify recent swing lows (green dots) and swing highs (red dots) that were tagged by strong signals—useful to place stop-loss or profit-target orders.
Set Alerts
Open the Alerts menu (bell icon) in TradingView, choose this script, and select the desired alert condition (e.g., “BUY Signal Strong”).
Configure notifications (popup, email, webhook) according to your trading workflow.
Notes & Best Practices
Filtering False Signals: By combining Stoch RSI crossovers with TEMA trend confirmation, most false breakouts during choppy price action are filtered out.
Timeframe Selection: This indicator works on all timeframes, but shorter timeframes may generate frequent signals—consider higher-timeframe confirmation when trading lower timeframes.
Risk Management: Always use proper position sizing and stop-loss placement. An “oversold” or “overbought” reading can remain extended for some time in strong trends.
Backtesting/Optimization: Before live trading, backtest different parameter combinations on historical data to find the optimal balance between sensitivity and reliability for your chosen instrument.
No Guarantee of Profits: As with any technical indicator, past performance does not guarantee future results. Use in conjunction with other forms of analysis (volume, price patterns, fundamentals).

Canuck Trading Projection IndicatorCanuck Trading Projection Indicator
Overview
The Canuck Trading Projection Indicator is a powerful PineScript v6 tool designed for TradingView to project potential bullish and bearish price trajectories based on historical price and volume movements. It provides traders with actionable insights by estimating future price targets and assigning confidence levels to each outlook, helping to identify probable market directions across any timeframe. Ideal for both short-term and long-term traders, this indicator combines momentum analysis, RSI filtering, support/resistance detection, and time-weighted trend analysis to deliver robust projections.
Features
Bullish and Bearish Projections: Forecasts price targets for upward (bullish) and downward (bearish) movements over a user-defined projection period (default 20 bars).
Confidence Levels: Assigns percentage confidence scores to each outlook, reflecting the likelihood of the projected price based on historical trends, volatility, and volume.
RSI Filter: Incorporates a 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to validate trends, requiring RSI > 50 for bullish and RSI < 50 for bearish signals.
Support/Resistance Detection: Adjusts confidence levels when projections are near key swing highs/lows (within 2% of average price), boosting confidence by 5% for alignments.
Time-Based Weighting: Prioritizes recent price movements in trend analysis, giving more weight to newer bars for improved relevance.
Customizable Inputs: Allows users to tailor lookback period, projection bars, RSI period, confidence threshold, colors, and label positioning.
Forced Label Spacing: Prevents overlap of bullish and bearish text labels, even for tight projections, using fixed vertical slots when price differences are small (<2% of average price).
Timeframe Flexibility: Works seamlessly across all TradingView timeframes (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), adapting projections to the chart’s resolution.
Clean Visualization: Displays projections as green (bullish) and red (bearish) dashed lines, with non-overlapping text labels at the projection endpoints showing price targets and confidence levels.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes historical price and volume data over a user-defined lookback period (default 50 bars) to calculate:
Momentum: Combines price changes and volume to assess trend strength, using a weighted moving average (WMA) for directional bias.
Trend Analysis: Counts bullish (price up, volume above average, RSI > 50) and bearish (price down, volume above average, RSI < 50) trends, weighting recent bars more heavily.
Projections:
Bullish Slope: Positive or flat when momentum is upward, scaled by price change and momentum intensity.
Bearish Slope: Negative or flat when momentum is downward, amplified by bearish confidence for stronger projections.
Projects prices forward by 20 bars (default) using current close plus slope times projection bars.
Confidence Levels:
Base confidence derived from the proportion of bullish/bearish trends, with a 5% minimum to avoid zero confidence.
Adjusted by volatility (lower volatility increases confidence), volume trends, and proximity to support/resistance levels.
Visualization:
Draws projection lines from the current close to the 20-bar future target.
Places text labels at line endpoints, showing price targets and confidence percentages, with forced spacing for readability.
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 50): Number of bars for historical analysis (minimum 10).
Projection Bars (default: 20): Number of bars to project forward (minimum 5).
Confidence Threshold (default: 0.6): Minimum confidence for strong trend indication (0.1 to 1.0).
Bullish Projection Line Color (default: Green): Color for bullish projection line and label.
Bearish Projection Line Color (default: Red): Color for bearish projection line and label.
RSI Period (default: 14): Period for RSI momentum filter (minimum 5).
Label Vertical Offset (%) (default: 1.0): Base offset for labels as a percentage of price range (0.1% to 5.0%).
Minimum Label Spacing (%) (default: 2.0): Minimum vertical spacing between labels for tight projections (0.5% to 10.0%).
Usage Instructions
Add to Chart: Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, save, and add the indicator to your chart.
Select Timeframe: Apply to any timeframe (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) to match your trading strategy.
Interpret Outputs:
Green Line/Label: Bullish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bullish: 414.37, Confidence: 35%").
Red Line/Label: Bearish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bearish: 279.08, Confidence: 41.3%").
Higher confidence indicates a stronger likelihood of the projected outcome.
Adjust Inputs:
Modify Lookback Period to focus on shorter/longer historical trends (e.g., 20 for short-term, 100 for long-term).
Change Projection Bars to adjust forecast horizon (e.g., 10 for shorter, 50 for longer).
Tweak RSI Period or Confidence Threshold for sensitivity to momentum or trend strength.
Customize Colors for visual preference.
Increase Minimum Label Spacing if labels overlap in volatile markets.
Combine with Analysis: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., moving averages, Bollinger Bands) or fundamental analysis to confirm signals, as projections are probabilistic.
Example: TSLA Across Timeframes
Using live TSLA data (close ~346.46 USD, May 31, 2025), the indicator produces:
30-Minute: Bullish 341.93 (13.3%), Bearish 327.96 (86.7%) – Strong bearish sentiment due to intraday volatility.
1-Hour: Bullish 342.00 (33.9%), Bearish 327.50 (62.3%) – Bearish but less intense, reflecting hourly swings.
4-Hour: Bullish 345.52 (73.4%), Bearish 344.44 (19.0%) – Flat outlook, indicating consolidation.
Daily: Bullish 391.26 (68.8%), Bearish 302.22 (31.2%) – Bullish bias from recent uptrend, bearish tempered by longer lookback.
Weekly: Bullish 414.37 (35.0%), Bearish 279.08 (41.3%) – Wide range, reflecting annual volatility.
Monthly: Bullish 396.70 (54.9%), Bearish 296.93 (10.2%) – Long-term bullish optimism.
These results align with market dynamics: short-term intervals capture volatility, while longer intervals smooth trends, providing balanced outlooks.
Notes
Accuracy: Projections are estimates based on historical data and should be used with other analysis tools. Confidence levels indicate likelihood, not certainty.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Short-term intervals (e.g., 30-minute) show larger price swings and higher confidence due to volatility, while longer intervals (e.g., monthly) are more stable.
Customization: Adjust inputs to match your trading style (e.g., shorter lookback for day trading, longer for swing trading).
Performance: Tested on volatile stocks like TSLA, NVIDIA, and others, ensuring robust performance across markets.
Limitations: May produce conservative bearish projections in strong uptrends due to momentum weighting. Adjust lookback or projection_bars for sensitivity.
Feedback
If you encounter issues (e.g., label overlap, projection mismatches), please share your timeframe, settings, or a screenshot. Suggestions for enhancements (e.g., additional filters, visual tweaks) are welcome!

MestreDoFOMO MACD VisualMasterDoFOMO MACD Visual
Description
MasterDoFOMO MACD Visual is a custom indicator that combines a unique approach to MACD with stochastic logic and simulated Renko-based direction signals. It is designed to help traders identify entry and exit opportunities based on market momentum and trend changes, with a clear and intuitive visualization.
How It Works
Stylized MACD with Stochastic: The indicator calculates the MACD using EMAs (exponential moving averages) normalized by stochastic logic. This is done by subtracting the lowest price (lowest low) from a defined period and dividing by the range between the highest and lowest price (highest high - lowest low). The result is a MACD that is more sensitive to market conditions, magnified by a factor of 10 for better visualization.
Signal Line: An EMA of the MACD is plotted as a signal line, allowing you to identify crossovers that indicate potential trend reversals or continuations.
Histogram: The difference between the MACD and the signal line is displayed as a histogram, with distinct colors (fuchsia for positive, purple for negative) to make momentum easier to read.
Simulated Renko Direction: Uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate the size of Renko "bricks", generating signals of change in direction (bullish or bearish). These signals are displayed as arrows on the chart, helping to identify trend reversals.
Purpose
The indicator combines the sensitivity of the Stochastic MACD with the robustness of Renko signals to provide a versatile tool. It is ideal for traders looking to capture momentum-based market movements (using the MACD and histogram) while confirming trend changes with Renko signals. This combination reduces false signals and improves accuracy in volatile markets.
Settings
Stochastic Period (45): Sets the period for calculating the Stochastic range (highest high - lowest low).
Fast EMA Period (12): Period of the fast EMA used in the MACD.
Slow EMA Period (26): Period of the slow EMA used in the MACD.
Signal Line Period (9): Period of the EMA of the signal line.
Overbought/Oversold Levels (1.0/-1.0): Thresholds for identifying extreme conditions in the MACD.
ATR Period (14): Period for calculating the Renko brick size.
ATR Multiplier (1.0): Adjusts the Renko brick size.
Show Histogram: Enables/disables the histogram.
Show Renko Markers: Enables/disables the Renko direction arrows.
How to Use
MACD Crossovers: A MACD crossover above the signal line indicates potential bullishness, while below suggests bearishness.
Histogram: Fuchsia bars indicate bullish momentum; purple bars indicate bearish momentum.
Renko Arrows: Green arrows (upward triangle) signal a change to an uptrend; red arrows (downward triangle) signal a downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Use the levels to identify potential reversals when the MACD reaches extreme values.
Notes
The chart should be set up with this indicator in isolation for better clarity.
Adjust the periods and ATR multiplier according to the asset and timeframe used.
Use the built-in alerts ("Renko Up Signal" and "Renko Down Signal") to set up notifications of direction changes.
This indicator is ideal for day traders and swing traders who want a visually clear and functional tool for trading based on momentum and trends.
Composite Index Divergences This is an automated trading strategy for TradingView designed to trade based on divergences between the price and a custom technical indicator called the "CMB Composite Index."
Main Functions:
"Composite Index Divergence" Calculation:
It generates a composite index by combining information from two RSIs (a long-period RSI and its rate of change, and a smoothed short-period RSI). This index is the primary tool for divergence detection.
Divergence Detection:
It identifies four types of divergences:
Regular Bullish: Lower lows in price but higher lows on the "CMB Composite Index."
Regular Bearish: Higher highs in price but lower highs on the "CMB Composite Index."
Hidden Bullish: Higher lows in price but lower lows on the "CMB Composite Index."
Hidden Bearish: Lower highs in price but higher highs on the "CMB Composite Index."
It uses pivot points (significant highs and lows) of both the price and the indicator to find these divergences within a user-defined range of bars.
Entry and Exit Logic:
It enters long (buy) or short (sell) positions when one of the user-selected divergences is confirmed and no position is currently open.
It manages trades with:
Stop Loss (SL): Based on a multiple of the ATR (Average True Range).
Take Profit (TP): Also based on a multiple of the ATR.
Close on Opposite Signal: Optionally, it can close a position if a divergence signal in the opposite direction appears.
Position size is calculated as a percentage of available equity.
Orders are processed at the close of the bar where the signal is confirmed.
Visualization (Optional):
It can draw lines on the chart to highlight the detected divergences.
It displays labels to identify the type of divergence.
It plots the Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for active trades.
In essence, the strategy looks for discrepancies between price action and momentum to generate trading signals, while managing risk with volatility-based Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands (ETH & RTH)A Pine Script indicator designed to plot a midpoint line based on the high and low prices of a user-defined trading session (typically Extended Trading Hours, ETH) and to add dynamic standard deviation (StdDev) bands around this midpoint.
Session Midpoint Line:
The midpoint is calculated as the average of the session's highest high and lowest low during the defined ETH period (e.g., 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
This line represents a central tendency or "fair value" for the session, similar to a pivot point or volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchor.
Interpretation:
Prices above the midpoint suggest bullish sentiment, while prices below indicate bearish sentiment.
The midpoint can act as a dynamic support/resistance level, where price may revert to or react at this level during the session.
Dynamic StdDev Bands:
The bands are calculated by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation of the midpoint values (tracked in an array) from the midpoint.
The standard deviation is dynamically computed based on the historical midpoint values within the session, making the bands adaptive to volatility.
Interpretation:
The upper and lower bands represent potential overbought (upper) and oversold (lower) zones.
Prices approaching or crossing the bands may indicate stretched conditions, potentially signaling reversals or breakouts.
Trend Identification:
Use the midpoint as a reference for the session’s trend. Persistent price action above the midpoint suggests bullishness, while below indicates bearishness.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm trend direction.
Support/Resistance Trading:
Treat the midpoint as a dynamic pivot point. Price rejections or consolidations near the midpoint can be entry points for mean-reversion trades.
The StdDev bands can act as secondary support/resistance levels. For example, price reaching the upper band may signal a potential short entry if accompanied by reversal signals.
Breakout/Breakdown Strategies:
A strong move beyond the upper or lower band may indicate a breakout (bullish above upper, bearish below lower). Confirm with volume or momentum indicators to avoid false breakouts.
The dynamic nature of the bands makes them useful for identifying significant price extensions.
Volatility Assessment:
Wider bands indicate higher volatility, suggesting larger price swings and potentially riskier trades.
Narrow bands suggest consolidation, which may precede a breakout. Traders can prepare for volatility expansions in such scenarios.
The "Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands" is a versatile and visually intuitive indicator well-suited for day traders focusing on session-specific price action. Its dynamic midpoint and volatility-adjusted bands provide valuable insights into support, resistance, and potential reversals or breakouts.
Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.
MMM @MaxMaserati 2.0MMM @MaxMaserati 2.0 - TradingView Indicator
The Backbone of the Max Maserati Method

🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
The primary goal of the "AQPRO Pattern Map" is to equip traders with a highly efficient way of identifying significant candlestick patterns across different timeframes, making the decision-making process stronger in a sense of both quality and quantity of presented information.
Specifically, this indicator addresses the following needs:
Automation of pattern detection.
Nobody likes searching for patterns on the chart "by hand", because it takes too much time and mental energy. With this screener you can forget about this problem: automatic scanning for 27 of the most commonly used patterns will save your tens, if not hundreds of hours of time, so you can focus on what really matters;
Multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis.
This one is one of the most unique features of this indicator, because after conducting product research in library of open-source scripts alike this screener, almost none of reviewed indicators had MTF analysis feature embedded in them. This feature is important for the simplest of reasons: you see candlestick data from other timeframes without jumping from one timeframe to another . Needless to say how much time it will save for traders over the years of trading. See description below to learn more on exact functionality of our MTF analysis;
Risk management automation.
Humans tend to overestimate risk, when matters are about earning money from "financially-dangerous" activities and trading is no exception. To help traders better understand what they risk, we implemented a simple, yet effective way of displaying levels of risk for each pattern. For each new pattern on the chart you will be able see automatic creation of Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) levels. It involves creation and displaying of lines and labels, representing each level at its exact coordinates. This elevates visual perception of risk for fellow traders and avoid excessive risk in many cases;
Simplicity in data visualization.
Charts, which are cluttered with pointless visual noise, presented as 'additional confirmation analysis', don't foster insights and are not worth a dime . We understand this issue very well and we designed our indicator with the solution to this problem in mind. Every bit of information, that you will see on your chart, will make sense both technically and visually — no more wasting time cleaning mess on your charts.
By addressing the needs, described above, this indicator will be a useful tool for any trader, who employs principles of candlestick pattern analysis, because most important pains of this kind of analysis are efficiently handled by our indicator.

* The detected patterns from these timeframes will be displayed in the MTF Dashboard on the chart.
🛡️ Risk Settings
As was described above, risk settings in our indicator will control appearance of TP and SL labels and lines, which appear for each new trade. Here you can customize the most essential parameters.
"Show TP/SL" — toggles the visibility of Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) values for the most recent pattern.
"Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R)" — defines your desired risk/reward ratio for the TP and SL calculations. The more this parameter is, the further the TP from entry level will be.
🎨 Visual Settings
In this group of settings you can fine-tune the visual appearance of the indicator to fit your preferences.
IMPORTANT: colour parameters from this group of settings affect ONLY colours in the dashboard.
"Use info dashboard" — if enabled, shows dashboard in the top right corner of the chart, which displays latest pattern's TP and SL alongside with this pattern's trade status: '⏳' - TP or SL have not been reached yet, '✋' - TP or SL have already been reached already, refrain from taking the trade.
"Bullish Pattern" — defines the color for bullish patterns.
"Bearish Pattern" — defines the color for bearish patterns.
"Neutral Pattern" — specify the color for neutral patterns like Doji.
"Frame Width" — adjusts the thickness of frames highlighting detected patterns on the chart.
📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
The way of application of this indicator is pretty straightforward, because trading methodologies based on candlestick patterns were developed decades ago and haven't changed much since then. However, we find it necessary to explain the most essential ways of application in this section.
Let's start with the basics — how you will your chart look when you load the indicator for the first time:
By default we have 5 main visual data "blocks":
Bullish patterns;
Bearish patterns;
Risk visualization;
Main Dashboard;
MTF Screener.
Let's review each of these groups one by one.
BULLISH & BEARISH PATTERNS
Patterns are displayed as up/down labels, which are styled in corresponding to trend colours. Each patterns has its own unique emoji to help traders easily navigate between patterns.
Also by default each pattern has its custom frame, inside of which resides candle (or multiple candles) of the pattern iself. These frames are made with purpose to show each pattern in a very clear way on the chart, because huge number of public scripts usually only show simple label of such patterns and don't highlight the pattern itself on the chart. To remove frames you can set "Frame Width" parameter to 0 in 'Visual Settings' group in the settings.
You can see the examples of frame on the screenshot below:
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP & SL)
Displaying Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator on the chart works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops . When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAIN DASHBOARD
Main dashboard is displayed in the top right corner of the chart and it shows the data of latest pattern, that occurred on the current asset and current timeframe: pattern's name, TP, SL and trade status. Depending on bullishness or bearishness of the pattern, dashboard is colour in respective colour.
Also on the right of side TP and SL data block there is a so called trade status. It is basically an indication of wether or not latest pattern's trade is still active or not:
If TP or SL of the pattern have not been reached yet, trade is considered active and is marked with '⏳' emoji;
If TP or SL of the pattern have already been reached, trade is considered inactive and is marked with '✋' emoji.
See the visual showcase of dashboard on the screenshot below:
MTF Screener
MTF Screener is displayed right below the main dashboard and its has distinctive 'MTF Patterns' header row on the top, painted in gray colour to make sure that every traders understand he is looking at.
This screener shows the timeframe and name of patterns from four other timeframes, which trader can customize in the settings to his liking. This will help trader get more insights on global sentiment of other timeframes, which improves trading results overall if applied correctly.
In the future MTF Screener will be expanded to have more data in it, like TP and SL, age of pattern and etc.
See the visual showcase of the MTF Screener on the screenshot below:
Features, explained above, make this indicator quite versatile and suitable for incorporation in any trading strategy, which uses candlestick patterns. They are simple, yet insightful, and traders, which use similar strategies everyday, will truly appreciate the benefits of this indicator when they will set up this indicator for the first time on their chart.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new pattern occurs. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call' .
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH pattern PATTERN_NAME was found."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bullish pattern 'Hammer' was found."
📌 NOTES
This indicator is most effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools such as trendlines, moving averages, support/resistance levels or any other indicator-type tool. We strongly recommend using this indicator as confirmation indicator for your main trading strategy, not as primary source of signals;
If you want to trade directly by these patterns, make sure to use proper risk management techniques of your own and use TP&SL visualization on the chart to always have a clue about your current position;
If you lost track of visual components on the chart, look at the main dashboard to see text summary of data from latest pattern. Also don't forget to look at MTF Screener to have more context about MTF sentiment, because it is increases your understandings of MTF price trend and improves your decision-making process.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Pattern Map was built to help traders automate candlestick pattern searching routine, improve chart readability and enhance perception of current potential risks, which may come from trading from a specific pattern. Indicator's main dashboard and MTF screener eliminate the need for constantly checking other timeframe for global sentiment, helping traders save even more time and fostering improved decision making.
This indicator will work in great conjunction with any other trading strategy as confirmation tool for entry decision. Using this indicator as primary source of signals is not recommended due to unstable nature of trading patterns.

Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.

Directional Movement Index (DMI) + AlertsThis is a Study with associated visual indicators and Bullish/Bearish Alerts for Directional Movement (DMI). It consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX), Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI).
Published by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 for use with currencies and commodities which are typically more volatile than stocks and have stronger trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000502250
Strategy Description
---------------------------
ADX defines whether or not there is a trend present; +DI and -DI compliment the ADX by taking direction into account. An ADX above 25 indicates a strong trend, and a Bullish alert is subsequently triggered when +DI is above -DI and a Bearish alert when -DI is above +DI.
Note that the Bullish or Bearish crossover alert will only trigger if ADX is simultaneously above 25 during the crossover event. If ADX later rises to 25 and +DI is still greater than -DI, or -DI greater than +DI, then a delayed alert will not trigger by design.
Basic Use
---------------------------
Acceptable DMI values are up to the trader's interpretation and may change depending on the financial instrument being examined. Recommend not changing any default values without being first familiar with their purpose and impact on the indicator at large.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- therefore we recommend not using this indicator by itself to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.
Inputs
---------------------------
ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same bullish or bearish state before triggering a delayed crossover alert (3 is the Default). Filter out some noise and reduces active alerts.
Show ADX Option - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible ADX line or a background overlay (green or red when ADX is above the key level, for bullish or bearish, and gray when below).
Color Candles - an option to transpose the bullish and bearish crossovers to the main candle bars. Can be turned off in the Style Tab by deselecting 'Bar Colors'. Dark blue is bullish, dark purple is bearish, and the black inner color is neutral. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
Bullish or Bearish plot based on DMI strategy (ADX and +/-DI values).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this study and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading strategy.
Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend. A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
Bullish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. +DI cross above -DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's low (any +DI cross-backs below -DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Bearish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. -DI cross above +DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's high (any -DI cross-backs below +DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Disclaimer
---------------------------
This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
No known repainting.
Version 1.1
-------------------------
- Added multi-timeframe resolution using PineCoders secure security function to eliminate repainting.
- Cleaned up option for selecting ADX view; and added a colored line as a choice, based on same bullish, bearish, or neutral colors as the background.
- Added exit crossover indicator to aid in an overall strategy development. This ability pairs better with my CHOP Zone Entry Strategy which relies on DMI Exits. Note that exit conditions don't employ the sensitivity variable. Green labels are for Bullish exits and red are for Bearish.
-- Exit condition is triggered if in an active Bullish or Bearish position and ADX drops below 25, Or if either the -DI crosses above +DI (for previously Bullish) or +DI crosses above -DI (for previously Bearish).
- Added reverse position determination. Triggers when a Bullish entry occurs on the same candle as a Bearish exit, or vice versa. Green labels are for Bullish reverses and red are for Bearish.
- Added selectable option to choose visible labels -- Bearish, Bullish, Both, Exits, Reverses, or All.
-- Note that a reverse label will only show if the opposing entry and exit labels are set to show, otherwise the reverse will revert to the appropriate entry or exit on the chart.
- Added alerts to account for new conditions.
-- Note that alerts for crossovers, exits, and reverses will only be triggered if the associated labels are selected to be shown (i.e., what you choose to see on the chart is what you will be alerted to).
Version 1.2
-------------------------
- Changed exit condition to be decided on by whether ADX is below 25 and on a +/-DI crossover. Versus being either or. The previous version had too many false triggers. This variety can now show multiple Bullish or Bearish alerts before an Exit condition too. I'm tempted to simply make this condition based on ADX, and not DI … thoughts? See lines 138 and 139.
- Updated the Background view to have deeper shades of colors dependent upon the ADX trend strength.
- Added an Oscillator view for the ADX and momentum computations to color the histogram by trend. DI lines are hidden.
-- If ADX is Bullish, then the oscillator is colored light green in an uptrend and dark green in a downtrend; if Bearish, then its light red in an uptrend and dark redin a downtrend; if adx is below key level, then it is light gray in a downtrend and dark grey in the uptrend.
- Added option to Hide ADX in case only the Directional lines are desired. This could be useful if you would like to have the ADX oscillator in one panel and +/-DI crossovers in another.
- Added a Columnar view for the ADX. DI lines are hidden. This view is really simple and compact, with the trend strength still easily understood. Colors are the same as for the oscillator -- the deeper the shade of green or red, then the higher the ADX trend strength level.
- Added a Trend Strength label.
ADX Trend Strength Trade (Y/N) Setup Types
0 to 10 = Barely Breathing N N/A
10 to 20 = Weak Trend Y Range/Pre-Breakout
20 to 30 = Potentially Starting to Trend Y Early Stage Trend
30 to 50 = Strong Trend Y Ride the Wave
50 to 75 = Very Strong Trend N Exhaustion
75 to 100 = Extremely Strong Trend N N/A
Version 1.3
-------------------------
Updated to Pine Script v5 to resolve errors from the deprecated v4 version.
This is a reissue of a previously published script that was hidden due to a v4 compatibility issue.

C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It

LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)User Guide: LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The "LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)" script is a TradingView indicator that identifies and plots "virgin levels" across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly). Virgin levels are price levels drawn at key reversal points based on candlestick patterns—specifically, the high or low of a candle preceding a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish transition. These levels remain active ("virgin") until the price crosses them, at which point they are removed, and an alert can be triggered.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Plots virgin levels on 15-minute, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.
Customizable Display: Enable/disable specific timeframes and customize line colors and width.
Alerts: Triggers alerts when the price crosses a virgin level on any enabled timeframe.
Version Tracking: Displays the script version on the chart for easy reference (current version: 1.1.0).
How It Works
Level Detection:
On each timeframe, the script detects candlestick pattern reversals:
Bullish-to-bearish: A bullish candle (close > open) followed by a bearish candle (close < open). A level is drawn at the high of the previous (bullish) candle.
Bearish-to-bullish: A bearish candle followed by a bullish candle. A level is drawn at the low of the previous (bearish) candle.
Levels are drawn as horizontal lines extending to the right, with a label showing the price.
Virgin Status:
A level remains "virgin" until the price closes across it on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
Once crossed, the level is removed from the chart.
Alerting:
When a virgin level is crossed, an alert is triggered for the corresponding timeframe (if enabled).
Setup Instructions
Add the Script to TradingView:
Open TradingView and go to the Pine Editor (bottom panel).
Copy and paste the script code into the editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to apply it to your active chart.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection:
Toggle which timeframes to display levels for (default: all enabled):
Show Daily Levels
Show 4H Levels
Show 15M Levels
Show Weekly Levels
Show Monthly Levels
Disabling a timeframe clears its levels from the chart.
Line Settings:
Adjust the line width (default: 1).
Customize colors for each timeframe (default colors):
Daily: White
4H: Yellow
15M: Green
Weekly: Blue
Monthly: Red
Max Lines: Set the maximum number of lines to draw (default: 500, TradingView’s limit).
Verify Version:
The script version (e.g., "Version: 1.1.0") is displayed at the top of the chart for reference.
Using the Alerting Feature
The script includes the ability to set alerts when virgin levels are crossed, with separate alerts for each timeframe. Here’s how to set them up:
Enable Desired Timeframes:
Ensure the timeframe(s) you want alerts for are enabled in the settings (e.g., "Show 15M Levels").
Create an Alert:
Right-click on the chart and select "Create Alert" (or use the bell icon in TradingView).
In the alert dialog:
Condition: Select the script ("LDO Virgin Levels from Candle Patterns (Multi-Timeframe)").
Condition Dropdown: Choose the specific alert condition for the timeframe you want to monitor:
"15m Virgin Line Crossed"
"4h Virgin Line Crossed"
"Daily Virgin Line Crossed"
"Weekly Virgin Line Crossed"
"Monthly Virgin Line Crossed"
Message: The default message (e.g., "A virgin line on the 15m timeframe has been crossed.") will be sent, but you can customize it if needed.
Notifications: Choose your preferred notification method (e.g., email, SMS, popup, webhook).
Frequency: Set to "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid multiple triggers within the same bar.
Click "Create" to activate the alert.
Repeat for Other Timeframes:
You can create separate alerts for each timeframe by repeating the process and selecting the appropriate condition.
Behavior:
Alerts trigger when the price closes across a virgin level on a new bar for that timeframe (e.g., a new 15-minute bar for 15m levels).
If multiple levels are crossed on the same bar, only one alert per timeframe will fire.
Example Use Case
Scenario: You’re trading SUIUSDT on a 15-minute chart and want alerts for 15-minute and 4-hour virgin level crossings.
Setup:
Enable "Show 15M Levels" and "Show 4H Levels" in the script settings.
Create two alerts:
One with the condition "15m Virgin Line Crossed".
Another with the condition "4h Virgin Line Crossed".
Configure notifications (e.g., email or popup).
Result: When the price crosses a 15m virgin level (e.g., at 3.3901 USD), you’ll receive an alert. Similarly, a 4h level crossing will trigger its own alert.
Notes
Chart Timeframe: The script works on any chart timeframe because it uses request.security to fetch data for higher timeframes (e.g., 15m levels will work even on a 1m chart).
Line Limit: The script caps at 500 lines total (TradingView’s limit). Older levels may be overwritten if this limit is reached.
Version Updates: Check the version number on the chart and the changelog in the script comments for updates.
Troubleshooting
No Levels Visible: Ensure the desired timeframes are enabled and that price action has triggered reversal patterns.
Alerts Not Firing: Verify that alerts are set to "Once Per Bar Close" and that the timeframe is enabled in the script settings.
Too Many Lines: Adjust the "Max number of lines to draw" setting if levels are being overwritten.
This script provides a powerful tool for traders to identify key reversal levels across multiple timeframes, with the added benefit of customizable alerts to stay informed of significant price movements.
Timeframe Titans: Market Structure & MTF Order Blocks🟩 OVERVIEW
A combined market structure and order block indicator. Displays fractals, zigzags, Break Of Structure and Change Of Character lines. Shows order blocks on the chart and a higher timeframe.
Unique features include:
• The structure rules require counter fractals for BOS. This enables us to use more responsive fractal settings without creating excessive noise.
• Structure is strict. After the initial CHoCH there is always one and only one active CHoCH line.
• Order blocks can be filtered by market structure.
• Order blocks are based entirely on candle patterns (which appear to be unique among all the indicators we tested) instead of using pivots or other configurable calculations.
• Order blocks have separate mitigation levels, not merely the edge of the block, and being partially mitigated is a separate logical state.
🟩 WHAT IS MARKET STRUCTURE?
There are many ways to conceptualise and code market structure — the prevailing trend derived from important price levels. All of them start with identifying highs and lows in price, then use breaks of those levels to assign a trend.
This indicator displays the following market structure features:
• Williams Fractals to derive high and low pivots.
• Zigzag lines, which connect highs and lows.
• Break of Structure (BOS) lines, which are formed from the highest high in an *uptrend* or the lowest low in a *downtrend*. A break of a BOS line signals trend continuation.
• Change of Character (CHoCH) lines, which are formed from the highest high in a *downtrend* or the lowest low in an *uptrend*. A break of a CHoCH line signals trend reversal.
• Market structure bias, which is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish.
(For more details of the market structure features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
This definition of market structure implies that:
• There can only ever be one single active BOS line.
• There can only ever be one single active CHoCH line.
• A break of a BOS line creates a new CHoCH line.
• A break of a CHoCH line creates a new bias, a new BOS line, and a new CHoCH line.
• Before we can create a BOS, we need to know the bias, for which we need the CHoCH, for which we need BOS... just one of the chicken-vs-egg difficulties of coding market structure.
To understand how this indicator differs from other market structure indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 WHAT ARE ORDER BLOCKS?
Order blocks are candle patterns that appear at highs and lows. The theory is that these areas are where many orders were filled — too many for the order book, causing an imbalance in buyers and sellers. As such, these areas can form support or resistance levels when price returns to them.
This indicator displays the following features related to order blocks:
• Imbalances, also called Fair Value Gaps.
• Order blocks of two different types (Imbalance Block and Standard Order Blocks)
(For more details of the order block features of this indicator, see the FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR section.)
There are different patterns that can define order blocks, but the common element is that price should move vigorously away from the area after the pattern forms.
To understand how this indicator differs from other order block indicators, see the COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS section.
🟩 FEATURES OF THIS INDICATOR
Pivots
Shows Williams high and low fractals, with a configurable lookback. The pivots are always calculated, since they are the building block of all other market structure features. The pivot shape display can be turned on or off, and the display customised.
Zigzag
Draws lines between the highs and lows. The lines can be shown or hidden, and the colour and thickness configured.
Break of Structure
BOS lines are always calculated, but can be shown or hidden. The appearance can be customised. BOS lines are drawn from the candle that has the high or low that defines their level. They always extend until they are broken or the bias changes. The BOS lines have an optional, configurable label. When a BOS line is broken, an optional, configurable label is drawn on that bar.
Change of Character
CHoCH lines can be shown, hidden, and customised. CHoCH lines always extend until they are broken or a new CHoCH line is formed. CHoCH lines have optional labels. A different, customisable label is drawn when a CHoCH line is broken.
Market structure bias
Market structure bias is derived from the break of a CHoCH line. If a CHoCH line is broken to the upside, the trend is bullish, and if to the downside, bearish. The background is shaded a configurable colour based on the trend.
Imbalances
Imbalances are drawn in configurable colours. When they are mitigated, you can choose to change the colour, delete them, or leave them.
Order blocks
Two types of imbalance order blocks are displayed: Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Blocks. They can be shown or hidden, and customised, independently.
Each order block has a mitigation line with configurable colours and style. If price exceeds the mitigation line, the order block is mitigated and is considered inactive.
The order blocks, or their labels, can be deleted when the order block is mitigated. If not deleted, their colour is changed and they no longer extend with each new bar.
Order blocks on the chart timeframe can be shown conditionally within the context of the market structure: you can choose to show:
• Pro-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bearish market structure and vice-versa).
• Counter-trend order blocks (bearish order blocks that were created in bullish market structure and vice-versa).
• All order blocks.
Higher timeframe
Imbalances and order blocks can be independently shown and customised on a single higher timeframe. The HTF functions of this indicator do not repaint because they use confirmed data.
You can choose a custom, fixed higher timeframe, or an "Auto" mode where the script automatically chooses the higher timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Script information messages
An optional table shows information about the script, including configuration problems, such as if a custom HTF is not actually higher than the chart timeframe.
🟩 HOW TO USE
There are very many ways to use market structure and order blocks in trading and we recommend you study extensively, and if possible get a trusted mentor.
Here is a random example we found on the recent GBPUSD chart. In the screenshot below, the left chart is at 30m and the right is at 5m. We've toggled various settings to make the chart clearer for demonstration purposes.
1 — We get a CHoCH break on the higher timeframe. So our bias (if we are trying to trade with the trend) is bearish. Now we look for some other confluence.
2 — Price revisits the top of the range and mitigates an imbalance block. It wicks the CHoCH (resetting it) but does not break it on close. The bearish market structure is thus preserved. For these reasons, we're thinking about a short, and we switch to the 5m chart on the right to find an entry. We've chosen a Custom HTF of 30m to match the left chart and we can see the mitigated HTF order block, marked "30m IB". We can see when price moves definitively out of the order block area to the downside.
3 — A bearish order block is formed and very quickly price comes back into it. We could enter a short here with a stop above the closest relevant fractal.
4 — Another bearish order block forms and price retests it. Another entry. Two previous 5m bullish order blocks at the bottom of the chart act as support. We could potentially close our short here.
5 — Another test of the same block, which was not mitigated the first time. Another potential short entry. As it happens, price makes a massive run lower here, such that we could trail our stop down one ATR above every single high fractal (marked out using manual rays and a public ATR indicator) for a good R:R, but that's not the point.
This is a made-up, retrofitted example with a fairly generic methodology. It's just to show how some of the features of this indicator could be used in trading:
• Market structure can give a bias. It can also mark interesting levels.
• Using multiple timeframes, while more complex, can level up your trading experience.
• Price trading back into order blocks can be a good R:R entry.
Your actual way of trading, your playbook of setups, your knowledge of your strengths and weakness as a trader, is your own.
🟩 LIMITATIONS
This indicator is intended for use on Forex markets, although order blocks and market structure do form on any reasonably liquid asset.
The HTF uses confirmed data, so you need to wait until the HTF bar is closed before the order block can form. Therefore it does not repaint, in the sense that people worry about repainting, of changing data in the past. We use the latest recommended method of fetching HTF data .
The market structure uses live chart data, so structure and order blocks that are created by conditions on an open realtime bar can appear and disappear as the current bar close changes. This is quite normal .
The Williams pivots are by definition only confirmed after a defined number of bars, and like everyone else we plot them offset into the past.
Similarly, we offset order blocks into the past so that they start on the candle that has the high or low that defines the order block, not the candle that created them. For HTF order blocks, we calculate the number of chart bars back assuming a 24-hour market, which gives accurate offsets only on Forex and other symbols that trade close to 24 hours each day.
🟩 COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDICATORS
There are a great number of market structure and order block indicators already published on TradingView. Since there are only a certain number of highs and lows on the chart from which to produce structure and order blocks, they all look somewhat similar. However, this indicator, written entirely from scratch without reference to the code of any other indicators, is unique and original in two kinds of ways: in patterns and in features.
PRECISE PATTERNS
We believe that edge in trading can be found in, amongst other things, precision in analysis. You can't truly trust your backtests if your system is not repeatable, and your system is repeatable only if its definitions are precise.
We trade with this indicator, and our students trade with it as well. Why did we spend months creating a new indicator instead of using one of the many existing ones, most of which are free and open source?
Because they are not quite how we wanted.
The indicator was created from our proprietary structure rules, which are based on the generally accepted understanding of market structure, with some specific tweaks.
To prepare this description (after the indicator is finished), we searched for "Market Structure", "CHoCH", and "SMC" and list below all popular (with over 3K boosts; excluding invite-only) indicators that show market structure with CHoCH (sometimes called MSS). We configured the settings to most closely match how our indicator works, added both indicators to the same chart, and looked for relevant differences.
The purpose of this section is not to try to say that this indicator is better than any other, but just that it is different. This difference is important for us and our students.
Indicator #1
As you can see, the indicator interpreted the first part of the chart as a downtrend, whereas ours interpreted it as an uptrend. The structure is completely different, because our Williams Fractal lookback is 2, and the minimum "Swing Points" value for Indicator #1 is 10. Although this indicator is deservedly popular, it isn't what we can use for the way we trade.
Indicator #2
Setting the "Zigzag Length" to 2 results in wildly different market structure, as shown below. For many fractals, this indicator does not place the zigzag at the highest high or lowest low, as ours does consistently. It does not highlight the trend in any way. It gives many Market Structure Breaks in a short period. Although it's again wildly popular, it doesn't match our way of encoding market structure.
Indicator #3
Again, setting the "Pivot lb" and "Pivot rb" inputs to 2 gives much too sensitive market structure. This is because this indicator does not require, as we do, a counter-fractal to form after a fractal in order to confirm a BOS. We believe that this rule gives less noisy structure while also being responsive. Most indicators attempt to compensate for this by having a much larger lookback period. While this does of course give fewer pivots and less noise, this is simply a different logic and gives different results. Note also that although this indicator correctly defines the first section of the chart as an uptrend, it does not draw a CHoCH line. As discussed above, our definition of market structure means that there should always be one and only one active CHoCH line, and we draw this at the earliest sensible opportunity.
Indicator #4
Again, the lack of any extra pivot confirmation logic means that this indicator creates different structure with the same lookback period. Also note the lack of initial CHoCH.
Indicator #5
The lowest lookback is 3, and so this indicator too gives very different structure.
Indicator #6
Of course, using a lookback of 2 gives different structure with this indicator too. For variety, here we show a lookback of 5, which is the lowest setting that returns significantly less noisy structure. You can see that the main CHoCH at the top of the chart is similar but not at the same place. Increasing the lookback does not ever result in a CHoCH at the same place, because the logic is simply different. When the lookback increases above 10, no CHoCH lines are drawn at the top at all.
Indicator #7
This indicator uses the highest/lowest price for the last 10 bars (fixed), along with some other bar conditions. You can see the resulting structure is quite different. Among other differences, it does not create a BOS at the top of the chart, even in an uptrend, and it does not create an opposing CHoCH when the existing CHoCH is broken.
Indicator #8
With "Custom" market structure and a length of 2, BOS and CHoCH lines are drawn by this indicator but in incongruous places.
Conclusion
Although we only illustrate the top few alternatives, we did check many, many others.
These market structure indicators may produce useful output, but their structure differs significantly from ours. We didn't even need to get into specific examples because the general approaches are so different. It is up to the user to decide which indicator, and which interpretation of market structure, best suits their needs.
ORDER BLOCKS
Continuing, we illustrate differences with the most popular order block indicators, trying to get them to match our order blocks. Note that some of these are also in the previous list as market structure indicators.
Order blocks are always formed at swings when price moves away with force, so they will be sort of the same across all the very many existing order block indicators. We are looking for precision and differentiation, as we did with market structure.
Indicator #1
This indicator does not have ability to display mitigated order blocks, only active ones. The order blocks do not match at all.
Indicator #2
With a period of 2, this indicator marks many of the same order blocks as ours. It doesn't extend the blocks, and doesn't mark them when mitigated. The logic for choosing the order block candle is also clearly different.
Indicator #3
Even with very sensitive settings, this indicator did not create as many order blocks as ours and they are quite different.
Indicator #4
Again you can see the logic for choosing candles and creating blocks is simply different. This indicator has inadequate protection against empty arrays, which causes runtime errors on charts with not much history (not a problem for Forex charts in general, but noticeable on the testing chart).
Indicator #5
We were unable to get the order blocks to extend with this indicator, although it should be possible. Anyway the blocks are wildly different.
Indicator #6
Even with the most sensitive settings, this indicator showed only one order block on our test chart.
Indicator #7
This indicator incorporates complex price action concepts. Nevertheless, the order blocks are very different indeed.
Indicator #8
This indicator forms quite different blocks to ours. It has several interesting settings including a choice of using the candle body or wick.
Indicator #9
We were not able to configure this indicator to produce the same order blocks as ours.
Indicator #10
On very sensitive settings, this indicator matches many of our order blocks, but at the same time many are different.
Conclusion
None of the indicators tested here (nor the many others we looked at previously) use the same logic as ours. The differences are so obvious that we don't have to call out individual blocks and analyse how they differ.
Fundamentally, other indicators seem to use variable precision for pivots in their order block detection calculations. Our order blocks are pure candle patterns with two different rulesets for Standard Order Blocks and Imbalance Order Blocks, and this logic does not change.
Note that our order blocks do not always automatically extend to the swing high or low, nor allow the user to choose the limit of the block, but use unique rules.
In summary, our indicator differs from other order block indicators in terms of fundamental detection logic, candle placement, boundary definition, mitigation levels, and logical states (see below).
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF FEATURES
In comparison to all other indicators we looked at, our indicator:
• Uses order blocks with three states: active, mitigated, and partially mitigated. Our mitigation lines for order blocks are rules-based. If price touches the mitigation line, the order block is considered fully mitigated. If price goes inside the order block but does not hit the mitigation line, it is only partially mitigated. These three states are visually distinguished.
• Has the most extensive visual customisation options of all those we looked at. We believe that being able to customise how you see indicator outputs is very important for reducing mental load while analysing and trading.
• Has a unique feature that combines market structure and order blocks, where the user can choose to show pro-trend order blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bullish structure and vice-versa) or counter-trend blocks (bullish blocks that are formed in bearish structure and vice-versa).
• Approximates an initial trend bias very quickly, so we can start creatng BOS, CHoCH, etc.
• Requires a counter pivot to confirm a BOS line. This seemingly small logical step actually creates very different structure, as we saw in the comparison section.
• Uses a sophisticated array-based sorting mechanism to preserve the selected number of imbalances, use the rest of the TradingView box allowance for order blocks, and delete excess order block objects (not just drawings) in reverse historical order.
• Hides order block drawings if they are a configurable distance away from price. Magically redraws them if price moves closer.
• Includes an equivalent to the system "Calculated bars" setting for the high timeframe, to avoid unnecessary processing and improve performance.
🟩 CODING CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator consists of all original code written by @SimpleCryptoLife for Timeframe_Titans.
AI was used for the following purposes:
• Autocomplete
• Checking that bullish and bearish logic is parallel in a given function
• Querying the names and locations of variables hundreds of lines away when we forgot what they're called, like an expensive search-and-replace
• Help with debugging (it usually makes up elaborate and wrong ideas though)
It was not used to replace the coder's expertise and creativity, or to "vibe-code" some black-box functionality we didn't understand. We can recommend that you use AI the same way.

[Tradevietstock] Market Cycle Detector_Quantum Flux Best technical indicator to detect market cycles - Quantum Flux
Hello folks, it's Tradevietstock again! Today, I will introduce you to Quantum Flux Indicator, which can help you identify market cycle and find your best entry/exit effectively.
i. Overview
1. What is Market Cycle Detector_Quantum Flux?
The Quantum Flux Indicator is developed specifically to analyze and detect market cycles across a variety of asset classes. Whether you trade stocks, crypto, forex, or commodities, this indicator provides a consistent framework to track trends and time your positions.
2. Supported Markets:
Stock Market
Crypto Market
Commodities
Forex
You can apply the same cycle-based strategy across all these markets using QFI.
Depending on the platform you're using, here’s how you can start using Quantum Flux:
TradingView Users:
Once your invite is approved, the indicator will be added to your TradingView account. You can access it directly through the Indicators tab.
MT5 / Amibroker Users:
After your payment is completed, we will send you the QFI script. You can then import it manually into your MT5 or Amibroker trading platform.
ii. Setting Up the Indicator
1. Choose Your Setup
There are two ways to configure the Quantum Flux - The best indicator to detect market cycles
Default Setup (Recommended)
This includes both the Quantum Aroon and some of the Premium MACD signals. This full setup is ideal for traders who want a complete view of the market cycle with detailed signals. You just need to turn off the Premium MACD_Components as the image below
MACD-Only Setup
In this mode, the Quantum Aroon module is disabled. The indicator will rely solely on the Premium MACD Setting to generate signals. While this option is available, we recommend using the full setup for the most accurate performance.
2. Recognize the Market Cycle Phases
According to Tradevietstock’s theory , every trading asset typically moves through four distinct phases in a complete cycle:
Bearish Phase - Bear Market
First Bullish Wave - The Recovery
Strong Correction Phase
Final Bullish Wave
Quantum Flux generates visual and data-driven signals to help you time your trades accurately.
Green Dots: MACD crossover → Potential buy signal
Red Dots: MACD crossunder → Potential sell signal
Quantum Aroon Crossover: Confirms bullish trend or Buy Signals
Quantum Aroon Crossunder: Confirms bearish trend or Exit Signals
Green background: Extreme Bullish Phase
Red background: Extreme Bearish Phase
The Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phase is a unique feature of our system that enhances trading signals by capturing moments when the market moves aggressively—either in a strong uptrend or downtrend. This phase often represents the peak of Greed in bullish markets and Fear in bearish ones, offering a way to gauge market sentiment visually. The intensity of the background color helps interpret this: a bolder green indicates a more extreme bull market, while a deeper red signals an extreme bear market.
It's important to note that the Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phases are not direct entry or exit signals. Instead, they serve as enhancement signals that help traders make more informed decisions. These phases provide insight into whether it's wise to wait for additional confirmation before entering a trade, or to hold existing positions longer until clearer exit signals—like red dots or crosses—appear. By identifying the market's most intense emotional points, these signals help traders better align with momentum rather than react prematurely.
=> In summary, the Extreme Bullish/Bearish Phase provides valuable insight into market sentiment by highlighting emotional extremes, helping traders navigate aggressive trends with greater confidence. However, like all features in the indicator, its purpose is to complement, not replace, the core entry and exit signals—which are still based on crosses and dots. As always, green indicates bullish conditions, and red indicates bearish, but sentiment alone doesn't drive the trades—signals do.
3. The logic of the indicator and its trading strategy
Many traders are familiar with Wyckoff's theory, which, while foundational, can feel outdated and inefficient for real-life trading in today's fast-paced markets. It takes time to apply and may not be the most practical approach. That’s why many turn to day trading, but without the right tools and strategy, it can lead to account blow-ups.
The traditional market cycle consists of four stages: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown. While this is accurate, it's not always sufficient for modern trading. We need something more practical.
According to Tradevietstock's theory, the market cycle can be broken into four stages: a bear market, recovery, correction wave, and a bull market (the strongest uptrend). This new approach offers a shorter and more efficient timeline compared to Wyckoff's or other older cycle theories, making it a safer and more practical alternative to intraday trading.
To trade with market cycles, you need to remember these four stages:
Bearish Phase - Bear Market
First Bullish Wave - The Recovery
Strong Correction Phase
Final Bullish Wave
The logic for BUY/SELL (Entry/Exit) signals is built on a combination of crossover and crossunder events from the Quantum Aroon and Premium MACD indicators. Our Quantum Aroon is an enhanced version that applies a custom zero-lag smoothing function, making its trend signals more responsive and accurate than the traditional Aroon. It also includes a signal line for crossover alerts, along with visual enhancements like color-coded backgrounds, arrows, and gradient fills to highlight different market phases. Integrated with normalized MACD and RSI, it helps confirm signals and identify overbought or oversold conditions. Most importantly, it's aligned with Tradevietstock’s 4-phase market cycle—Bear Market, Recovery, Correction, and Bull Market—making it especially practical for real-world trading.
The Premium MACD differs from the standard version by introducing several key improvements. It normalizes the MACD line, signal line, and histogram for consistent interpretation across assets and timeframes, improving visual clarity. It also supports multi-timeframe analysis, allowing users to choose between the current chart resolution or a custom timeframe. The indicator includes color-coded histogram bars to show momentum changes and uses large dynamic circles to highlight crossover points.
=> These enhancements improve signal accuracy and make trend reversals easier to spot. Paired with the Quantum Aroon, it serves as a powerful confirmation tool within the Tradevietstock cycle framework.
4. Get to practice
In the example of NVDA, you can observe all four phases in action. For medium- to long-term traders, Phase 2 and Phase 4 usually present the strongest buying opportunities. Phase 1 and Phase 3 are accumulation phases — where prices are lower and preparations are made for the next bullish leg.
We can examine the following example to better understand Phase 1: The Bear Market . This phase only begins after a prior uptrend in the stock price . It’s crucial to remember that Phase 1 is not the start of the overall trend—it marks the reversal following a bullish run.
For instance, take the LMT stock: after a 50% rise, Quantum Flux displays a green background, indicating an 'Extreme Bullish Phase.' Once this bullish phase concludes, it sets the stage for a valid Phase 1—the beginning of the Bear Market.
The stock price declines sharply, triggering Quantum Flux to display a red background as the Aroon line crosses below the signal line.
Phase 1 concludes when we observe multiple crossover signals—most notably when the Aroon line crosses above the Signal line—and the red background, which signifies the Extreme Bearish Phase, disappears. Let's take a look at the image below:
Let’s move on to Phase 2: The Recovery. This phase follows the Bear Market—Phase 1. After a significant decline in the stock price, a recovery or pullback is expected.
Our signals for this phase include green dots and crosses, along with the confirmation signals that mark the end of Phase 1. This combination provides valid Buy signals and presents opportunities for mid-term investment strategies.
Phase 3 is a correction wave after the recovery . We also incorporate the cross and dot signals during this phase. In Phase 2, the strategy involves preparing to sell or take profits once the recovery phase matures. Whenever red dots or red crosses appear, they serve as indicators to consider taking profits, signaling the potential end of the upward move.
In Phase 3, known as the correction wave, the key objective is to take profits before the price begins to decline. This phase represents a temporary pullback following the recovery. Importantly, the end of Phase 3 often presents a strong buying opportunity—just before the onset of Phase 4, which is the strongest bullish wave. Whenever green dots and crosses appear at this stage, they serve as clear Buy signals, allowing us to position early for the upcoming bullish momentum.
Phase 4 is the strongest bullish wave—one that investors definitely don’t want to miss. Having entered at the end of Phase 3, the goal in Phase 4 is to maximize gains by targeting the highest highs.
During this phase, we closely monitor our exit signals, which include the appearance of red dots and red crosses, as well as the disappearance of the Extreme Bullish Phase indicator (green background). These signals help us lock in profits at the peak of the bullish momentum.
iii. Brief Conclusion on the Signals
End of Phase 1:
As Phase 1 nears completion, green dots start to appear. These serve as early entry signals, offering an opportunity to buy at lower prices before the trend reversal begins.
Phase 2 – Recovery:
Momentum begins to build during this phase. As it approaches its peak, red dots and Aroon line crossunders emerge—signaling that it's time to exit or reduce exposure in anticipation of a correction.
Phase 3 – Correction:
The indicator typically shows a red background, reflecting a bearish environment. This is a waiting phase—traders should remain cautious and avoid entering until green signals reappear.
Phase 4 – Strong Bullish Wave:
With the return of bullish signals (green dots, crosses, and green background), Phase 4 begins. After entering, the position is held to ride the strong momentum. Profit-taking signals include the appearance of red dots, red crosses, and the disappearance of the green background.

MÈGAS ALGO : CNA (Cognitio Analysis) [INDICATOR]Overview
The CNA (Cognitio Analysis) is a comprehensive financial analysis tool designed to evaluate the overall health and potential of a market or company based on fundamental metrics. It aggregates data across five key metric groups—**Growth**, **Profitability**, **Cash Flow**, **Income**, and **Valuation**—to provide a final interpretation of market conditions. The indicator dynamically adapts to the selected fiscal period (Quarter, Year, or Trailing Twelve Months) and delivers insights into dominant trends and conflicting signals.
Key Features
1. Customizable Fiscal Period:
- Users can select between "Quarter", "Year", or "Trailing Twelve Months" (TTM) to analyze data for their desired timeframe.
2. Dynamic Table Visualization:
- Displays raw metric values, aggregated scores, and the final interpretation in an intuitive
table.
- Highlights the final interpretation with dynamic background colors (`color.teal` for bullish,
`color.red` for bearish, etc.).
3. Comprehensive Data Integration:
- Pulls financial data using TradingView's `request.financial()` function for metrics like
revenue, earnings, margins, and valuation ratios.
4. Normalization and Scoring:

Uptrick: Stellar NexusOverview
Uptrick: Stellar Nexus is a multi-layered chart tool designed to help traders visualize market behavior with enhanced clarity and depth. It presents various overlays, signal triggers, and an asset-level behavioral table in one cohesive interface. Its core focus is to illustrate how different market states shift over time. By displaying directional structures, dynamic zones, momentum shifts, and a real-time probability assessment of multiple assets, it aims to deliver a comprehensive perspective for those looking to navigate complex market environments more confidently.
Purpose
The primary purpose of Stellar Nexus is to unify several market assessment methods into a single framework, sparing users the need to rely on multiple disjointed indicators. It is especially useful for traders who value having layered signals, interactive overlays, and a quick reference to asset-specific metrics within one tool. By consolidating multiple market insights, the script aspires to reduce guesswork, limit information overload, and present clear triggers for potential trade opportunities or risk management decisions.
Originality
Stellar Nexus stands out because it relies on a proprietary set of logic layers, each carefully designed to detect nuanced shifts in price movement. The script brings forward a streamlined depiction of underlying market changes through color-coded zones, shape markers, and short textual tags. Its architecture also accommodates multiple “modes” of viewing the market—be it through layered cloud structures, trend ribbons, or step-based overlays—so traders can adapt its outputs to match changing conditions. The presence of a specialized probability table and a real-time market state meter (HUD Meter) further underscores its uniqueness, providing at-a-glance scoring for various instruments and a gauge that visually displays ongoing transitions from trending to ranging phases.
Inputs
Stellar Nexus includes several user-configurable settings, organized into themed groups. Each input subtly modifies how information is derived or rendered on the chart:
General
Silken Veil (integer input) : Governs how smooth or responsive various underlying signals will appear.
Canvas (dropdown) : Chooses the primary visual overlay style among Nebula Trail, Velora, or Stellar Stepfilter.
Signals (dropdown) : Selects which built-in signal engine (Fluxor or Flowgen) is responsible for painting buy and sell markers.
Nova Tension (integer input) : Influences the internal motion sensitivity used by certain triggers.
Astral Ribbon (integer input) : Imparts a broader directional bias layer that can highlight whether the current environment is bullish or bearish.
Bands
Phase Delay (integer input) : Impacts baseline offsets for certain dynamic band calculations.
Band Softener (float input) : Creates a blended baseline, balancing two distinct smoothing techniques.
Spread Factor (float input) : Scales how wide or narrow the generated envelope bands become.
Layer Offset (float input) : Adjusts spacing between multiple layered boundaries in the band structure.
Smooth Mode (dropdown boolean) : Toggles an extra layer of smoothing on or off for the plotted envelopes.
Feed Matrix
Burst (integer input) : Adjusts how the Flowgen engine interprets momentum buildup. Higher values generally lead to more conservative signals.
Delta Curve Sync (integer input) : Alters the sensitivity of directional alignment within the Flowgen system, refining how quickly the script adapts to market slope changes.
Lambda Pulse Shift (integer input) : Controls timing offsets within the Flowgen structure, subtly influencing the trigger timing of transitions.
Sync Drift Limit (integer input) : Provides a stabilizing effect on the internal motion detection engine, helping reduce erratic behavior during choppy conditions.
WMA Open Filter Tunnel (integer input) : Filters signal validity by applying a dynamic range check on opening price structures, reducing false positives in unstable markets.
Probability Table
Show Predictability Table (boolean) : Enables or disables a table of asset metrics.
Show Numeric Values (boolean) : Switches between displaying numeric values and using simple directional markers in the table cells.
Stepfilter
Sensitivity (dropdown) : Offers a range of speed profiles (Very Fast to Very Slow and TURTLE option) that define how quickly or slowly the step-based overlay reacts to price changes.
HUD Meter
Show Stellar HUD Meter (boolean) : Turns on or off a specialized gauge for quick insight into trending vs. ranging conditions.
Take Profit Signals
Show TP Signals (boolean) : Determines whether exit or take-profit markers are displayed after certain conditions have been met.
Phase Length (integer input) : Influences the internal baseline used for the exit signal logic.
Sync Channel (integer input) : Sets a period within which different data points are compared or synced.
Filter (integer input) : Imposes an additional smoothing on exit-related cues.
Features
Signals (Fluxor and Flowgen)
Fluxor
Logic: Fluxor focuses on detecting specific price transitions, validating them against an internal directional and momentum layer, and then confirming the move based on the script’s overarching market bias.
Visual Representation: When Fluxor is activated, up and down label markers (“▲+” or “▼+”) appear at points the system regards as noteworthy transitions. These do not guarantee trades but are designed to guide users on when buying or selling pressure may have intensified or reversed.
How It Helps: Fluxor is streamlined for those who want simpler, clearer triggers that factor in both trend alignment and short-term motion shifts. This option is more for mean reversion traders.
Flowgen
Logic: Flowgen employs a slightly more sophisticated approach that evaluates multiple “environmental layers,” including structural alignment, directional slope checks, and distinct open-state filters.
Visual Representation: When Flowgen senses a valid transition, it prints discrete up and down markers, much like Fluxor, but triggered by different, multi-layer considerations.
How It Helps: Flowgen caters to traders who desire more emphasis on layered agreement—where multiple aspects of the market must line up before a signal is shown. This option is more for trend following traders.
Overlays (Nebula Trail, Velora, Stellar Stepfilter)
Nebula Trail
Purpose: This indicator employs dynamic, color-coded bands around price action to illustrate prevailing market bias and track which side—bulls or bears—wields greater influence, aligning with a trend-following approach.
Usage: This indicator creates outer and inner “band” regions that can function as potential support or resistance in alignment with market momentum. In bullish phases, the cloud below price acts as a supportive barrier, whereas during bearish conditions, the cloud above price provides a point of resistance. When a bearish signal is detected, traders may enter short positions on a price bounce off this band and then exit when subsequent take-profit cues appear, effectively leveraging the band for both entry and exit strategies.
Velora
Purpose: Extends the concept of band visualization into layered “tiers,” giving a more fine-grained view of how price transitions from one band to another.
Representation: Zones are subdivided into multiple steps, each with distinct shading. As the script’s internal logic detects shifts between bullish or bearish conditions, these layered bands expand or contract to reflect changing momentum.
Usage: Velora subdivides zones into multiple steps, each featuring distinct shading. As the script's internal logic detects shifts between bullish or bearish conditions, these layered bands expand or contract, signaling changes in momentum. When price enters the upper band, especially if the HUD meter shows less definitive momentum, it may hint at a non-trending environment; conversely, in a bearish scenario, the lower band can act as potential support. Narrower bands often point to an impending breakout, while wider bands can suggest a possible reversion in price. Velora is well-suited for traders wanting to see more intermediate zones where the market may hesitate or show partial confirmation—ideal for refined entries or exits.
Smooth:
Choppy:
Stellar Stepfilter
Purpose: Focuses on a persistent directional line that only updates when the script’s logic deems a genuine shift is taking place.
Representation: A single line plots on the chart to represent the “locked” direction. During periods of noise or indecision, this line may remain static, reducing false signals. Optionally, bars can be recolored to reflect bullish or bearish states.
Usage: Traders who prefer a minimalistic, stand-back approach often select Stellar Stepfilter for its ability to filter out choppy conditions and highlight clearer momentum strides. When the line remains flat—particularly in the very slow or “turtle” mode—it signals a ranging market, offering valuable insight into periods of reduced volatility. In TURTLE mode, bars are recolored green or orange to reflect locked trend direction more visibly. TURTLE mode offers the most conservative setting within the Stepfilter engine, emphasizing stability and clarity by reacting only to the strongest directional conditions and visually reinforcing its state through bar coloring.
Very Fast
Very Slow
TURTLE Mode
Probability Table
Description: The Probability Table is displayed on the top-right corner (by default). It automatically fetches data for a handful of assets (in this case, five popular cryptocurrencies), then scores each asset on multiple behavioral metrics. By default, the Probability Table monitors SOL, BTC, ETH, BNB, and XRP from Binance.
Metrics Explained:
HV: Suggests how the asset’s price is fluctuating relative to a standard reference.
ATR/Vol: A ratio that provides insight into volatility compared to trading activity.
WBR: Compares candle wicks against their bodies to gauge the frequency of price swings outside an open-close range.
Liq Clust: Indicates if there are pockets of stable or unstable liquidity.
Momentum: Observes shifts in buying or selling pressure.
PRI: Shows a baseline measure of how far price has deviated from a certain average over time.
Final Verdict: Based on each metric’s reading, an overall classification emerges: Predictable, Moderate, or Chaotic.
How It Helps: Traders can quickly scan this table to see if an asset’s environment is “Predictable” (potentially more structured), “Moderate” (balanced or transitional), or “Chaotic” (unstable and riskier). Each cell can optionally show either numeric approximations or simple “up/down” arrows to reduce clutter.
Non Numeric Values
Numeric Values
Stellar HUD Meter
Description: Located at the top center of the chart, this horizontal gauge toggles between “Trending” and “Ranging,” representing how firmly price is locked in directional expansion versus sideways hesitation.
Mechanics (General): The gauge increments or decrements over time, smoothing out abrupt shifts. A pointer slides across the meter, indicating whether conditions are leaning more toward persistent momentum or uncertain, choppy movement.
How It Helps: This immediate visual feedback helps traders decide if momentum strategies or mean-reversion approaches are more suitable at a given moment, avoiding reliance on guesswork alone.
Take Profit Signals
Description: After any buy or sell trigger occurs (either through Fluxor or Flowgen), the script can flag up to three potential exit points.
Trigger Logic (General): These exits appear when certain internal checks sense that short-term upside or downside pressure may be waning.
Representation: Small markers (“X”) appear near the top or bottom of the candle.
How It Helps: Rather than passively holding a position, these optional signals remind traders of possible exhaustion points. If they choose to follow them, it can help secure partial or full profits during a trend.
Why more than one indicator?
Having more than one internal indicator engine allows Stellar Nexus to adapt to different market behaviors and personal trading styles. Sometimes traders require swift, high-frequency triggers (Fluxor). Other times, they prefer more layered agreement before taking a position (Flowgen). Similarly, each overlay—Nebula Trail, Velora, and Stellar Stepfilter—offers a distinct method for visualizing price action. Markets are dynamic, and no single representation is ideal for all conditions. By blending multiple approaches into one script, Stellar Nexus provides flexibility: a user can switch between sets of signals or overlays based on market phase, personal risk preference, or the timeframe being traded.
Additional Features
Alert System: Built-in alerts for every trigger or state change ensure that traders can receive real-time notifications, even when away from the chart. The alert system includes buy/sell triggers, trend shifts, overlay transitions, take-profit points, and predictability status changes across monitored assets.
Selective Visibility: Users can enable or disable various modules—Probability Table, HUD Meter, Take Profit Signals—to keep their chart interface uncluttered.
State Persistence: Certain modules “lock in” their reading until a strong reason emerges to change it, which can help minimize false flips in volatile conditions.
Tailored Aesthetics: Color choices and label styling are curated to be visually distinct, reducing confusion when multiple signals or overlays occur simultaneously.
Conclusion
Uptrick: Stellar Nexus is a comprehensive, multi-layer script that merges aesthetic clarity with functional depth. It combines diverse overlays, signal engines, probability analyses, and a heads-up market meter into one cohesive tool. By handling trending vs. ranging states, evaluating asset predictability, and offering selective take-profit cues, it serves as a versatile companion for traders who want organized, visually intuitive guidance. Its originality is found not only in how it disguises internal computations, but in the ease with which users can cycle through different overlays and signals to suit changing market conditions. As always, personal due diligence, market awareness, and risk management remain essential. Stellar Nexus simply provides a refined canvas on which to read and interpret price action more confidently.

SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)
🚨 Main Utility: Early Squeeze Warning
The primary function of this indicator is to warn traders early when the market is approaching a "squeeze"—a tightening condition that often precedes significant moves or regime shifts. By visually highlighting areas of increasing tension, it helps traders anticipate potential volatility and prepare accordingly. This is intended to be a statistically and psychologically grounded replacement of so-called "fib-time-zones," which are overly-deterministic and subjective.
📌 Overview
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics indicator projects future regime shifts (such as golden and death crosses) using exponential moving averages (EMAs). It employs historical interval data and current market conditions to dynamically forecast when the critical EMAs (50-period and 200-period) will reconverge, marking likely trend-change points.
This indicator leverages two core ideas:
Behavioral finance theory: Traders often collectively anticipate popular EMA crossovers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy (normative social influence), similar to findings from Solomon Asch’s conformity experiments.
Bayesian-like updates: It utilizes historical crossover intervals as a prior, dynamically updating expectations based on evolving market data, ensuring its signals remain objectively grounded in actual market behavior.
⚙️ Technical & Mathematical Explanation
1. EMA Calculations and Regime Definitions
The indicator uses three EMAs:
Fast (9-period): Represents short-term price movement.
Medial (50-period): Indicates medium-term trend direction.
Slow (200-period): Defines long-term market sentiment.
Regime States:
Bullish: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
Bearish: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
A shift between these states triggers visual markers (arrows and labels) directly on the chart.
2. Gap Dynamics and Historical Intervals
At each crossover:
The indicator records the gap (distance) between the 50 and 200 EMAs.
It tracks the historical intervals between past crossovers.
An Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of these intervals is calculated, weighting recent intervals more heavily, dynamically updating expectations.
Important note:
After every regime shift, the projected crossover line resets its calculation. This reset is visually evident as the projection line appears to move further away after each regime change, temporarily "repelled" until the EMAs begin converging again. This ensures projections remain realistic, grounded in actual EMA convergence, and prevents overly optimistic forecasts immediately after a regime shift.
3. Gap Momentum & Adaptive Scaling
The indicator measures how quickly or slowly the gap between EMAs is changing ("gap momentum") and adjusts its forecast accordingly:
If the gap narrows rapidly, a crossover becomes more imminent.
If the gap widens, the next crossover is pushed further into the future.
The "gap factor" dynamically scales the projection based on recent gap momentum, bounded between reasonable limits (0.7–1.3).
4. Squeeze Ratio & Background Color (Visual Cues)
A "squeeze ratio" is computed when market conditions indicate tightening:
In a bullish regime, if the fast EMA is below the medial EMA (price pulling back towards long-term support), the squeeze ratio increases.
In a bearish regime, if the fast EMA rises above the medial EMA (price rallying into long-term resistance), the squeeze ratio increases.
What the Background Colors Mean:
Red Background: Indicates a bullish squeeze—price is compressing downward, hinting a bullish reversal or continuation breakout may occur soon.
Green Background: Indicates a bearish squeeze—price is compressing upward, suggesting a bearish reversal or continuation breakout could soon follow.
Opacity Explanation:
The transparency (opacity) of the background indicates the intensity of the squeeze:
High Opacity (solid color): Strong squeeze, high likelihood of imminent volatility or regime shift.
Low Opacity (faint color): Mild squeeze, signaling early stages of tightening.
Thus, more vivid colors serve as urgent visual warnings that a squeeze is rapidly intensifying.
5. Projected Next Crossover and Pseudo Crossover Mechanism
The indicator calculates an estimated future bar when a crossover (and thus, regime shift) is expected to occur. This calculation incorporates:
Historical EWMA interval.
Current squeeze intensity.
Gap momentum.
A dynamic penalty based on divergence from baseline conditions.
The "Pseudo Crossover" Explained:
A key adaptive feature is the pseudo crossover mechanism. If price action significantly deviates from the projected crossover (for example, if price stays beyond the projected line longer than expected), the indicator acknowledges the projection was incorrect and triggers a "pseudo crossover" event. Essentially, this acts as a reset, updating historical intervals with a weighted adjustment to recalibrate future predictions. In other words, if the indicator’s initial forecast proves inaccurate, it recognizes this quickly, resets itself, and tries again—ensuring it remains responsive and adaptive to actual market conditions.
🧠 Behavioral Theory: Normative Social Influence
This indicator is rooted in behavioral finance theory, specifically leveraging normative social influence (conformity). Traders commonly watch EMA signals (especially the 50 and 200 EMA crossovers). When traders collectively anticipate these signals, they begin trading ahead of actual crossovers, effectively creating self-fulfilling prophecies—similar to Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, where individuals adopted group behaviors even against direct evidence.
This behavior means genuine regime shifts (actual EMA crossovers) rarely occur until EMAs visibly reconverge due to widespread anticipatory trading activity. The indicator quantifies these dynamics by objectively measuring EMA convergence and updating projections accordingly.
📊 How to Use This Indicator
Monitor the background color and opacity as primary visual cues.
A strongly colored background (solid red/green) is an early alert that a squeeze is intensifying—prepare for potential volatility or a regime shift.
Projected crossover lines give a dynamic target bar to watch for trend reversals or confirmations.
After each regime shift, expect a reset of the projection line. The line may seem initially repelled from price action, but it will recalibrate as EMAs converge again.
Trust the pseudo crossover mechanism to automatically recalibrate the indicator if its original projection misses.
🎯 Why Choose This Indicator?
Early Warning: Visual squeeze intensity helps anticipate market breakouts.
Behaviorally Grounded: Leverages real trader psychology (conformity and anticipation).
Objective & Adaptive: Uses real-time, data-driven updates rather than static levels or subjective analysis.
Easy to Interpret: Clear visual signals (arrows, labels, colors) simplify trading decisions.
Self-correcting (Pseudo Crossovers): Quickly adjusts when initial predictions miss, maintaining accuracy over time.
Summary:
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics Indicator combines behavioral insights, dynamic Bayesian-like updates, intuitive visual cues, and a self-correcting pseudo crossover feature to offer traders a reliable early warning system for market squeezes and impending regime shifts. It transparently recalibrates after each regime shift and automatically resets whenever projections prove inaccurate—ensuring you always have an adaptive, realistic forecast.
Whether you're a discretionary trader or algorithmic strategist, this indicator provides a powerful tool to navigate market volatility effectively.
Happy Trading! 📈✨

Psych Level ScreenerThis Script is intended for Pine Screener and is not designed as a indicator!!!
Pine Screener is something TradingView has recently added and is still only a Beta version.
Pine Screener itself is currently only available to members that are Premium and above.
What it does:
This screener will actively look for tickers that are close to Pysch level in your watchlist.
Psych level here refers to price levels that are round numbers such as 50,100,1000.
Users can specify the offset from a psych level (in %) and scanner will scan for tickers that are within the offset. For example if offset is set at 5% then it will scan for tickers that are within +/-5% of a ticker. (for $100 psych level it will scan for ticker in $95-105 range)
Once scan is completed you will be able to see:
- Current price of ticker
- Closest psych level for that ticker
- % and $ move required for it to hit that psych level
- Ticker's day range and Average range (with % of average range completed for the day)
- Ticker volume and average volume
Setting up:
www.tradingview.com
Above link will help you guide how to setup Pine screener.
Use steps below to guide you the setup for this specific screener:
1. Open Pine Screener (open new tab, select screener the "Pine")
2. At the top, click on "Choose Indicator" and select "Psych Level Screener"
3. At the top again, click "Indicator Psych Level Screener" and select settings.
4. Change setting to your needs. Hit Apply when done.
a)"% offset from Psych Level" will scan for any stocks in your watchlist which are +/- from the offset you chose for any given psych level. Default is 5. (e.g. If offset is 5%, it will scan for stocks that are between $95-$105 vs $100 psych level, $190-$210 for $200 psych level and so on)
b) ATR length is number of previous trading days you want to include in your calculation. Moving Average Type is calculation method.
c) Rvol length is number of previous trading days you want to include in your calculation.
5. On top left, click "Price within specified offset of Psych. Level" and select true. Then select "Scan" which is located at the top next to "Indicator Psych Level Screener". This will filter out all the stock that meets the condition.
6. At the end of the column on the right there is a "+" symbol. From there you can add/remove columns. 30min/1hr/4hr/1D Trend are disabled by default so if this is needed please enable them.
7. You can change the order of ticker by ascending and descending order of each column label if needed. Just click on the arrow that comes up when you move the cursor to any of the column items.
8. You can specify advanced filter settings based on the variables in the column. (e.g., set price range of stock to filter out further) To do so, click on the column variable name in interest, located above the screener table (or right below "scan") and select "manual setup".
How to read the column:
Current Price: Shows current price of the ticker when scan was done. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so no PM and AH price.
Psych Level: Psych level the current price is near to.
% to Psych Level: Price movement in % necessary to get to the Psych level.
$ to Psych Level: Price movement in $ necessary to get to the Psych level.
DTR: Daily True Range of the stock. i.e. High - Low of the ticker on the day.
ATR: Average True Range of stock in the last x days, where x is a value selected in the setting. (See step 3 in Previous section)
DTR vs ATR: Amount of DTR a ticker has done in % with respect to ATR. (e.g., 90% means DTR is 90% of ATR)
Vol.: Volume of a ticker for the day. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so no PM and AH volume.
Avg. Vol: Average volume of a ticker in the last x days, where x is a value selected in the setting. (See step 3 in Previous section)
Rvol: Relative volume in percentage, measured by the ratio of day's volume and average volume.
30min/1hr/4hr/1D Trend: Trend status to see if the chart is Bullish or Bearish on each of the time frame. Bullishness or Bearishness is defined by the price being over or under the 34/50 cloud on each of the time frame. Output of 1 is Bullish, -1 is Bearish. 0 means price is sitting inside the 34/50 cloud. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so 34/50 cloud is based on regular trading hours data ONLY.
Some things user should be aware of:
- Pine Screener itself is currently only available to TradingView members with Premium Subscription and above. (I can't to anything about this as this is NOT set by me, I have no control) For more info: www.tradingview.com
- The Pine Screener itself is a Beta version and this screener can stop working anytime depending on changes made by TradingView themselves. (Again I cannot control this)
- Pine Screener can only run on Watchlists for now. (as of 03/31/2025) You will have to prepare your own watchlists. In a Watchlist no more than 1000 tickers may be added. (This is TradingView rules)

- Unfortunately this screener does not update automatically, so please hit "scan" to get latest screener result.
- I cannot add 10min trend to the column as Pine Screener does NOT support 10min timeframe as of now. (03/31/2025)
- This code is only meant for Pine Screener. I do NOT recommend using this as an indicator.
- Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data. So data such as Price, Volume and EMA values are based on market hours data ONLY! (If I'm wrong about this please correct me / let me know and will make look into and make changes to the code)
